I Hope Something Eats You From the Woods

the gods lurk

from the trees

where when you

were very young

had been able

to dance and play

then one day

at age 14

he touched you

and now there are monsters

that always lurk

in the very woods

where he touched you

and made you

cry.

now you're older

and the monsters

are bigger and

you desperately pray

for God to

kill them finally.
